BLANKET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No, 364,287, dated June 7,1887. 7

Application filed July 24, 1886. Serial No. 209,956v (N0 model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HERMAN G. PFEIL, a citizen of the United States,residing at Camden,in the county of Camden and State of New Jersey, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Printers Blankets, ofwhich the following isa specification, reference being had therein tothe accompanying drawings.

The object of my invention is to provide a printers blanket which willbe less expensive and equally as durable as the rubber blanket now inuse, and which, being perfectly nonelastie, will avoid the stretching ofthe paper during the process of printing, and which will avoid thesuction between the paper and the blanket which occurs when the ordinaryrubber printing-blanket is used, and which is very objectionable.

My invention consistsofa blanketformed of a sheet of Manila paper and asheetof oil-cloth, or of a sheet of Manila paper placed between twosheets of oil-cloth.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a plan of a blanket consisting of twostrips of oil-cloth with a strip of Manila paper secured to and betweenthem, the several sheets or strips be- I ing broken away to show theones beneath them; and Fig. 2 is a section of the same on line m m. I

A A are strips of oil-cloth, to and between which is secured, by anysuitable means, the Manila paper B.

In the drawings two strips of oil-cloth are shown, and in thisarrangement either side of the blanket may be used; but, if desired,only one strip of oilcloth backed by Manila paper or some other suitablenonelastic substance may be used.

Having thus described my invention, I claim A printers blanketconsisting of a strip or strips of oil-cloth, and a strip of Manilapaper, or othersuitable non-elastic material, secured togethersubstantially as and for lhe purposes set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of twowitnesses.
